Composition Spotlight: "The Lake Isle of Innisfree"

(Each week we look at one or two of the best choral works posted in the Composition Showcase here on ChoralNet. This is where we store a treasure trove of works that your choirs will love to sing and your audiences will love to hear.)

Peter Bird is new to the Composers of Choral Music Community. His first entry to the Composition Showcase is worth an in-depth look. This mostly up-tempo work drives forward with changing meter of 3/4, 2/2 and 5/4 a stirring soprano and alto duet, a tenor solo and contrasting accompanied and a cappella sections.
